Jaspa Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 This is ridiculous We payed £5M for Mills who was in last year of contract. And sell Bamba for half of that, when he's the same standard. This could jepardise a large part of preperarion for the season. Not a smart move IMO, need to keep him
andog Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Just when i thought we were a buying club and no longer had to sell our best assets ? In Sven we trust my arse . It's not just Sven though is it? What if Bamba wants to leave... We can't really stop him cause' his heart won't be in playing for us My only problem is the petty 2-2.5million fee mentioned
Pookie Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Bamba started well as we all know, but our record with him starting after the famous bump on the head at Derby is as follows 11 games, 3 wins, 3 draws, 5 defeats, F=16 A=15 Pts 12 (2 clean sheets) I have not included Saturday's game, because I think the win and cleansheet was largely down to the quality Sven has recruited around him both in defence and midfield.
Libertine Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Best assets. 10 times the money we paid for him, great business. I'm with Babs, it's not great timing but as long as we have someone decent in mind then no problem. I like the guy and he can be fantastic on occasion, but certainly not irreplaceable.
John Matrix Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 that is wank business if that's the case really wank business
Joe. Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Bamba must have said he wants to leave, I can't really see any other explanation for all of this. We're not in a squad position to sell him with only Mills and St Ledger left as recognisable and proven centre-backs, and we certainly don't need the cash. I would have suggested that we've had a bid we can't refuse, but in this market £2-2.5 million doesn't seem particularly ground-breaking to me. Odd situation, but we'll deal with it.
Blinking Blue Owl Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 So can anyone tell me where this " he don't want to play for us any-more " come from ?
Happy Fox Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Mills we paid over the odds for, in time yes he may be worth 4-5m fee we paid him, I just hope that we can find a good partner for him
MC Prussian Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 But who would be the quality replacement now that Upson has gone to Stoke???
h1210 Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 StringerSport Ian Stringer BBC Radio Leicester understands there has been NO bid for Sol Bamba and The Foxes are NOT negotiating with Blackburn Rovers #lcfc #brfc Articles on the Independent and the Mail websites now saying he's off (although regurgitated information). Be interested to see the outcome of this as it will show just how ITK Stringer is, he normally stays (jealously) quiet if a deal is happening and he has no info.
Darkon84 Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 So can anyone tell me where this " he don't want to play for us any-more " come from ? Its not so much that, its more that he wants to play in the premiership. by going to blackburn, its instantly realising that ambition, rather than trying to get there with us.
Guest Col city fan Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 The foxy women on this site won't be best chuffed!! Many felt he was one of the good looking ones! They won't wanna see Wayne Brown back will they.... Although thinkin about it I better shut up or hell break mi fookin legs..
Walshy5 Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Probablly already been said but this explains why he wasn't in the squad last night. Think we should recall tunchev now as we have no cover!
MC Prussian Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Blackburn are solely in for the marketing gag. Imagine a centre-back pairing of Samba and Bamba.
Narborough_fox Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 With the money we get given for him I genuinely think that we can find an improvement, He isn't worth £3 million and will get massively found out in the Premier League he may be a fans favourite but he certainly isn't that good that we can't replace him and people saying we payed too much for Mills I can sum that up in 3 words... He is English.
Messi Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 It don't half make me laugh how people are now saying how important he is, in comparison to this time 5-6 weeks ago when everyone was saying he wasn't going to be good enough, he was a bombscare and we should sell him if we got the chance. Don't take a lot for you to change your mind does it!! In my opinion, there is better out there and if he doesn't want to be here then let him go.
Ashley Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Apparently Bamba didn't play last night because of personal reasons and he was down to be in the squad last night?
Ali_Mauchlens_Tash Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Good business - Crap timing in my opinion. I can only think that the deal was taking time because we were lining up a replacement before agreeing to it.
Messi Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 And we also have Sean St. Ledger? Why is everybody making out like Mills is the only CB? Or is SSL injured?
Libertine Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 That caller from the Sven phone in will have the noose out tonight.
Blinking Blue Owl Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 The Sean St Ledger i saw against Real Madrid made me fear for the future , he was completely out of his depth as opposed to Bamba .
gazfox9 Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 Gutted to see him go (If he does), can't see why he'd go to Blackburn if its true the likes of Valencia are in for him. Never mind, in Sven we trust.
Kent Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 The Sean St Ledger i saw against Real Madrid made me fear for the future , he was completely out of his depth as opposed to Bamba . I know yeah, I mean one of our players being out of his depth against Real Madrid is unacceptable.
Nocturnal Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 The Sean St Ledger i saw against Real Madrid made me fear for the future , he was completely out of his depth as opposed to Bamba . Out of depth against Real Madrid on his debut in a friendly. We're doomed.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 10 August 2011 Posted 10 August 2011 But who would be the quality replacement now that Upson has gone to Stoke??? Craig Dawson - WBA.
